Disclosures

Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount
from their net asset value (“NAV”), which may increase investors’ risk
of loss. At the time of sale, an investor’s shares may have a market
price that is above or below NAV, and may be worth more or less than the
original investment. There is no assurance that a Fund will meet its
investment objective. Past performance does not guarantee future
results. Investments in securities of MLPs involve risks that differ
from investments in common stock, including among others risks related
to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting MLPs,
potential conflicts of interest risk, cash flow risks, dilution risks
and trading risks.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy any security. Each Fund has completed
its initial public offering. Investors should consider their investment
goals, time horizons and risk tolerance before investing in a Fund. An
investment in a Fund is not appropriate for all investors, and the Funds
are not intended to be a complete investment program. Investors should
carefully review and consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks,
charges and expenses before investing.
